Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Schnikeys.... At this point, I almost wonder if we just need to have a big COVID party for all the kids and get it over with.

I feel like it will be thru KCS in another month at this rate.

I guess I'm a mutant. My BMI is 23, and I'm not exactly a health nut.

Yes you are a mutant or you have a world class tape worm. When I lost weight the lowest I got was 28.1 for 225 at 6’3”. I’m just not healthy there 235-240 at this point in my life is where I feel healthy. I told my doctor BMI is stupid and makes no sense look at me im healthy and in great shape. He agreed BMI is a fairly meaningless number… yet it’s reported on every report I get from his office. When I point that out he just smiles and shrugs and said keep doing what you’re doing you’re fine.

I'm 6'0" 170. I ride my bike a couple of times a week. I don't do any kind of diet, though I've never been big on sweets. Now it appears that I'm dangerously healthy.

I haven’t been 170 since I was like a sophomore or Junior in highschool and I was freakishly thin at that weight. I graduated at 6’4” and 200 lbs and I was lean. I played football I was in damn good shape. That’s still a BMI of 24.3. If I had carried 20 more lbs of muscle for a proper football player I would have been classified as overweight. It’s not possible to shoehorn everyone into a one size fits all “health” number. And I’m sure you know that too.

I was always overweight and over BMI when I was in the Army even though I was scoring in the 290s on my PT test. Some of these standards haven't changed since the 40s or 50s.

Hmmm 6 years later we start hearing allot about eosinophilic asthma then 2 years after that more inhalers come out on the market for, shockingly enough, eosinophilic asthma.

BMI man, it matters with covid.

So stoners are safe? I may have to pick up a habit.

Is that actually an Onion article with the CNN banner edited on?

I'm in complete agreement. I'm legitimately frustrated that I'm currently excluded from potentially receiving MAb for no other reason than I'm not 15 lbs heavier. It's absurd.

BMI isn’t even the proper metric to describe that otherwise “healthy” person’s condition.

 

[Matt2496]

This is fake news. I searched all over CNN and couldn't find any article about Sheila Johnson and COVID.

I don't know who created it, but it's really good satire in that it's believable that such an article might exist.

Yes

So does blood type

It should be adipose measurement.

Alot of fake news going around again

I’ll have to Google what that even is.

At 6'1" 190#, my BMI is right at 25, despite having a 32" waist. The calculation does not distinguish muscle weight from fat. An actual body fat analysis is really a more useful tool, but it's harder to check, so insurance companies/medical providers usually just stick to BMI.

I think so, too... If not sooner

I know you're busy but can you direct me to info about human testing trials on covid vaccine base?
Orange slice mentioned it started development almost 20 years ago. He posted a pub med article on rodent testing.

You don't have to find it for me. If you can advise me on where to search and what search parameters to use, I'd appreciate it.

Veteran Dies of Treatable Illness as COVID fills hospital beds, leaving doctors "playing musical chairs

When U.S. Army veteran Daniel Wilkinson started feeling sick last week, he went to the hospital in Bellville, Texas, outside Houston. His health problem wasn't related to COVID-19, but Wilkinson needed advanced care, and with the coronavirus filling up intensive care beds, he couldn't get it in time to save his life.


"He loved his country," his mother, Michelle Puget, told "CBS This Morning" lead national correspondent David Begnaud. "He served two deployments in Afghanistan, came home with a Purple Heart, and it was a gallstone that took him out."

Insurance companies are now asking COVID-19 Patients to Share in the Cost of their treatment

The financial cost of remaining unvaccinated ⁠against COVID-19 is rising. Health insurance providers are now asking people who contract the disease to share the cost of treatment, which can get expensive if it requires a lengthy hospital stay.

Early in the pandemic, most private insurers waived cost-sharing for patients under their plans or even covered the full cost of treatment. In November 2020, nearly 90% of insured individuals would have had their out-of-pocket costs — including copays, coinsurance or payments toward a deductible — waived if they had been hospitalized for COVID-19, according to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF).

Imagine you or a family member has a life threatening emergency and there’s literally no room in the hospital because all the beds are taken by unvaccinated covid patients. that’s literally a nightmare how do people still not realize how insanely selfish they’re being?
But there is no point complaining about it when people don’t care about anybody else but themselves.
